Car breaks down and we out over an hours work into finding an nearby garage that can take the car and actually fix any potential issues. This garage is 5mins away from where car is broken down. AA man turns up He asks for the address phone number of our regular garage. On being given this he insists on going there. Despite the preference for the 5 min away one. He constantly talks on and on. He doesn't listen. It is ALWAYS better to go to your regular mechanic is his impervious attitude. On trying to phone our regular mechanic we get no answer despite repeated attempts. The phone runs out of energy and the AA man is asked to call. He decided to go anyway. On phoning our mechanic as soon as possible we discover the AA man had arrived and left our car DESPITE the objections of the mechanic that he cannot fix it until much after Jan 6th. He is going on holiday for over a month. Again the AA man does not seem inclined to listen! Note having moved house just prior to covid our regular mechanic isn't feasible in an emergency. At approx 3-4 hours away by very indirect and 4 separate pieces of public transport. But at least if our mechanic was able to fix it I wouldn't be on here. AA are taking zero responsibility and wanting to charge us a fortune to have it retrieved somewhere convenient to us.
